OMG! I might finally get my chance!

Darren! Solo! Live! Chicago!!!

Northalsted Market Days gets Gleek-ified this year with the announcement that Darren Criss (gay teen “Blaine Anderson” on the T.V. phenom “Glee”) will perform at the Boystown event, reportedly the largest two-day street fair in the Midwest.

Criss has strong Chicago ties: StarKid—the theater troupe co-founded by the 24-year-old along with fellow classmates from the University of Michigan—relocated to Chicago last summer. StarKid’s big claim to fame—a You Tube video titled “A Very Potter Musical” (for which Criss played the title role)—was named one of Entertainment Weekly’s top 10 viral videos for 2009.

Organizers say Criss, who joined the musical comedy-drama last fall, will take the stage Aug. 13, at 4:30 p.m., in between acts Maxine Nightingale and Prince Poppycock.
